This morning I had my first radio interview, and it was really fun. Waking up early for it was difficult (especially to find that my cat had taken a dump on my bed) but I made it on time to talk with Ed and co-host in CKUT (90.3 FM) show "The Tuesday Morning After".

If youd like to hear the whole show, go to https://secure.ckut.ca//64/20090721.07.00-09.00.mp3 . If you want to skip up to my interview, go up to the first quarter of it, but it's a pretty good show all around, even when Im not talking my junk. Enjoy!

This spring I decided to renew the mural in my backyard. Of course my bro and graffity extraordinaire Peru had to be part of it and I also invited my new friend Omen, who obviously kills it. Unfortunetely Peru was unable to finish the backround of his section. But then another awesome artist friend of mine, Tim Bernard poped up at my spot and finished off the colaboration with some trippy lines. Im pretty stoked.

Urban Ambush is Montreal's coolest brand coming straight from the underground frontlines. I am honored to have finally done a graphic for my good friend Barry Walsh, an already legendary Pro skater who has payed more dues than most.In this 2 board series I am accompanied by SAKE, Montreal's king of Bombs. If you are a hater (cause he's probably already tagged your own property), this is a chance to scratch out his art, while having fun ripping.http://urbanambush.com/haps.html
